Atom Tickets Announces New Partnership with the Independent Cinema Alliance

Atom Tickets and the Independent Cinema Alliance (ICA) have announced a partnership that will bring Atom’s digital, contactless ticketing services to independent cinemas across the U.S.. 

A trade association for independent, community-focused theaters in the U.S., the ICA represents 3,000 screens across 175 companies. Premiere Cinemas (located in Texas, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, New Mexico, and South Carolina), CineLux Theatres (California), Rainbow Cinemas (Alabama), Park Plaza Cinema (South Carolina), Palace Cinema (Tennessee), and Hollywood 20 Cinema (Tennessee) will be among the first group of ICA members to sell tickets through Atom’s app and website under the new partnership. 

Said Premiere’s Martin Watson in a statement: “While we have focused on delivering a safe and entertaining experience across most of our 28 locations, contactless ticketing has been something we knew we wanted to offer our customers. But until Atom Tickets partnered with ICA, we didn’t have an easy way to get access to that kind of technology. We’re thrilled to have Atom as a partner and look forward to working with them to drive awareness for our locations being back in business.”

Technical integration will be coordinated by Atom’s in-house technical support and onboarding team, and theaters that wish to integrate Atom ticketing on their websites are able to do so. In the last few months, Atom has also launched a feature allowing moviegoers to purchase tickets within the Snapchat app.

Of Atom’s new relationship with the ICA, Head of Corporate Development and Exhibitor Relations Max Lynn said: “We’re thrilled to have this much-needed partnership in place during this critical time for independent cinemas and are committed to marketing them to our movie fans. We must do what we can to help our industry succeed. Delivering the best movie ticketing technology for theaters of all sizes and making it easier for movie fans to enjoy going to the movies is core to our mission.”

Added Todd Halstead, executive director of the ICA: “ICA is committed to creating opportunities for independent exhibitors and we are excited to launch our new partnership with Atom. People want to get back to the movies, and Atom’s industry-leading digital ticketing platform and their marketing support will help independent exhibitors bring back the magic of moviegoing to communities across the country.”

Cinemark Q3 Earnings Reports: CEO Mark Zoradi Speaks on “Dynamic Theatrical Windows,” the Success of Private Rentals

Many of the questions asked of Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi during this morning’s quarterly earnings call were about streaming and theatrical exclusivity—leading the CEO to offer some updates on their evolving windows policy as well as clarify other points about the chain’s status moving into the fourth quarter of 2020. At AMC’s Q3 earnings call, held earlier this week, CEO Adam Aron touted the chain’s deal with Universal, which can see the theatrical exclusivity window for that studio’s titles shrink from the traditional 72 days to as little as 17 at AMC theaters. Cinemark, Zoradi announced, will join AMC in playing upcoming Universal and Focus releases The Croods: A New Age , Freaky , and Let Him Go when they open in theaters this month. Cineworld, owner of Regal, the country’s second largest chain, has made no announcements about reopening the bulk of their theaters in the coming weeks, though none of the handful of Regal theaters open in NY and CA list showtimes for Focus Features’ ...

Weekend Box Office Forecast: Focus Features Eyes Back-to-Back #1 Openers with Let Him Go

It’s been — and still is — a wild week for the United States and the entire world as the results of the presidential election remain unknown and the pandemic continues with consistent daily records of new cases. For those seeking some semblance of escapism in a safe and politics-free environment, however, this weekend will provide the latest new release hoping to provide theaters and audiences with fresh content: Let Him Go . The western-drama-thriller starring Diane Lane and Kevin Costner is the latest offering from Focus Features, under Universal Pictures, during exhibition’s mid-pandemic restart. The studio just delivered the top film of last weekend with Come Play , a horror title delivering solid results under the circumstances. Now, Focus is back in action again with what looks to be their second consecutive weekend atop the box office. Let Him Go has earned respectable social media footprints for a film aimed predominately at an audience not known for making significant onlin...
